Edward Clifford Gordon papers, 1880-1965.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/753565819

Collection comprises photocopies of material on Robert E. Lee and on the surrender of the Confederate Army at Appomattox Courthouse. Includes a copy of the Gordon's draft (dated about 1880) for a lecture on Lee's post-war life, as well as a copy of undated notes on Lee as president of Washington College that were compiled from Gordon's papers by his son. There is also a copy of an excerpted article from THIS WEEK magazine (1965 July 4) that describes Lee's surrender at Appomattox; it is probably unrelated to the original collection. Acquired as part of the George Washington Flowers Collection of Southern Americana.
